PRACTICAL ROUTERS and SWITCHES for ENGINEERS and TECHNICIANS

Transcription

1 PRACTICAL ROUTERS and SWITCHES for ENGINEERS and TECHNICIANS Objectives At the end of this workshop participants will: Be able to configure, maintain and manage routers have a clear practical understanding of what TCP/IP is and how to apply it be able to design, install and manage routed internetworks know how to segment networks with bridges, routers and switches be able to analyze internetwork protocols be able to troubleshoot and fix router and switch problems have developed the basic skills to effectively troubleshoot TCP/IP and LANs Who should attend? Routers and switches are primary components of most networks and obviously internetworks. Routers are simultaneously the most complex component of networks and the most important. This workshop goes through the basics of routers, routed and routing protocols and the basic rules to follow in building internetworks. If you are using any form of communication system or are applying modern PLCs/SCADA systems this workshop will give you the essential tools in working with networks. It is not an advanced workshop but a hands-on one. Anyone who will be designing, installing and commissioning, maintaining or troubleshooting TCP/IP and Intranet/Internet sites will benefit including: Instrumentation Engineers, Technicians, Design Engineers, Network Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Engineering Managers, Network System Administrators Pre-requisites A basic working knowledge of industrial communications and applications is useful.
